Sorry for the delay and thanks for waiting my friends!
I was really busy writing articles yesterday and didn’t have time
to work on a page that lay waiting to finish or write a blogpost…
But here I am!
I finished the page this morning, and then there’s something else
I want you to show (yes, it’s dry by now 😉 )

Howdy folks! 😀
I am waiting for something to dry.
I wanted to show it on my blog – but it takes a lot longer then
I thought it would! It’s a grey day and at 5 pm it starts to get
dark already, so there is no way that I can take good pics
IF it will dry in time…
you will have to wait until Friday.
But I have this to show you…

Hi there friends!
Just a quick post today…
It’s late in the afternoon already, and I’m longing for
some relax-time after a hard days work.
Hard work – yep, but FUN!
I’ added some finishing touches on the last lessons for the
Mixed Emotions workshop. The workshop started October 22
and it is a huge success. It makes me happy to see all the students
make marvelous pages and having fun with the assignments!
I published some of their work in the Public gallery so you go there
and take a look!
(By the way, you can still join the workshop.
Registration will be open until November 9.
Find all the info about it in the shop)
And what did I do last weekend?

Nooo… it’s not my birthday today (that was on October 2nd)
But look what the mailman just dropped off at my place! 🙂
..
As a birthday present my friend Lena let me choose some stamps
at VivaLasVegastamps and she ordered (and payed) them for me!
She had to laugh when they came in, and she didn’t quite understand
why I choose that “astonished boy”.
To be honest – I can’t explain either…
I just kept on going back to that particular stamp and I kinda fell
in love with it. He makes me giggle somehow.
Don’t you think that stamp would do great on a collage?
Dress him up with woman’s clothes and high heels…?
Changes are that you will see more of him on Friday!

Michelle and I had such fun last Wednesday!
We prepared our workshop community group and after that, we invited
all the participants to come on in… and BOY, they did just that!!!!
It was so much fun to see them coming, putting profiles up,
chatting on the boards and being all enthusiastic over our welcome video!!!
And only a moment ago, Michelle posted the first Mixed Emotions lesson
in the workshop community… we’re on our way on yet another fun journey,
and a whole bunch of nice and creative women are traveling right with us!
I’m such a happy girl today!
